I don’t think such surgery exists where they break your rib and you wear a corset. Liposuction can help though

It exists, it’s just so extremely rare that it makes lower rib removal look like it’s common.

Do you have any links?

waist training via tightlacing doesn't require surgery, plus it's pretty

u/TheInsaneBlacksmith • 3 points

You don't need to really tight lace, just wearing a good corset can give you the results you want. It just takes a while

Waist training with corsets isn't permanent, but it can potentially damage internal organs if you're not careful.

u/TheInsaneBlacksmith • 2 points

It's pretty permanent, like after a year of wearing it you can go three months without it and still have around the same size waist. Also the internal organ damage thing isn't really a thing. People used to go to 16 inch waists and while it did move things around it isn't super dangerous. Unless you go from like 37 to 19 with the first corset and even than it's from loss of blood circulation.

Yep yep yep, there's a lot of misinformation and fear mongering around the use of corsets.

Okay

You're thinking of Amanda Lepore. I read an article back in the 90's about her getting her ribs broken and reshaped with a corset. Google her name and a lot of stuff comes up.
